Lolx, this one is probably underage or never step foot out of SE

A lot of nigerians are illiterate despite going to school.

When they say 3 major tribes, it doesn't everything must be grouped into these 3. It is disgusting to do so and also stupid. You don't even need to travel before you understand this.

Disgusting.

tamdun:

Many people know nothing about ilorin, it easier for ilorin to join South West than okun people, I keep telling people that emir of ilorin will never pray for Nigeria to devide because there is no way ilorin will be left behind, the next town after ogbomoso(oyo) is ilorin and after u leave ilorin (heading to North) there are 100s of yoruba town/villages like oke oyi, jebba, share etc, the last time I visited oke oyi, I witnessed their masquerade festival.
Now tell me how they going to merge ilorin with North? Will they erase those yoruba towns from existence ni, is like saying lagos will be part of biafra, will u skip ibadan, ogun etc

That is why I thank God for my decision to leave Lagos and all the south to study in Nasarawa state, now telling my FAM that always calling me mallam that I didn't study in hausaland that Nasarawa, Benue, Plateau, Taraba, abj, Kogi all even south of Kaduna are not Hausa/Fulani is still baffling them. prior to the jihad there was no emir in all those places mentioned above, even abj till now Dont have emirs, they are trying to force in abj but gbagyi ppl no gree, fact Hausa are not more than five States in the north, and are not muslims before the Jihad they have their traditional religion,what happened was that after the jihad was that most Hausa ppl that fled the war came down to the middle belt. Me telling me ppl down here after graduation that those places above are not Hausa and most of them are Christians and there are more ethnic group in the north still baffles them. if someone check well self they have more Christian population than us that's y Fulani ppl are trying to push then to the wall, like Plateau now as never had a Muslim governor never and I'm not sure they will ever have cause those ppl hate Hausa/Fulani jos crisis will give you the record, Hausa are minorities in Nasarawa with Eggon and Alago and madam being the main ppl eggon is the dominant ethnic group, Benue are Mainly Tiv and Idoma, with other tribes like uju, novemir who born you where there is ochidoma, and Tor'Tiv strong kings. in fact even the north east is not Hausa, they have there own dynasty, it was Jihad if not for British that stopped that war they would have taken over Nigeria, hmm those ppl that came in tru caravan slave( Trans shahara trade). so it was after the Jihad that started in Gobir forcing out the Last Hausa king Tunfa that Uthman Dan fodio put his brother as the head of Sokoto calaphate while he was in other that have forgotten the name. so no reason am if the minorities in north rise up Hausa/Fulani themselves are minorities in the North. But everybody adopted the language for common understanding, if Eggon, Mada, Alago, Tiv of Benue and Taraba, remember Tiv is forgottenthe Fourth largest ethnic group in Nigeria, Idoma, Nupe in Niger state (even Niger state don't have emir, they have their king have forgotten his name, if all these group decided to speak their language nobody will understand anyone hence the adoption of a popular one which Hausa.

Even though their concerns are genuine, it is practically impossible to cede them to the south west based on geographical segregation because they represent just a chunk of Kogi's landmass that shares land border with Edo, Enugu and Benue. Their goal can only be achieved with equal cooperation from Kwara state and Kogi as a whole. They all must speak in unison else, nothing worthwhile will be done.

GarangDeMabior:
Zone them out of nigeria into Oduduwa.

People are talking of moving out of the current Federal arrangements, these ones are talking about moving into SW.

Mtcheew.

Pls don't bring Kwara into this because na themselves they packed their bag and baggage and lived Kwara to align with Kogi. But because their suffering now increase in kogi more than Kwara they now want to leave the place again.

So now where will our brothers go now Me I think Ekiti

GarangDeMabior:


These places you named have been known as north for a long time.

They have a common language binding them which is Hausa.

Cloud007:
stop spewing trash if you don't want to be unfortunate. Hausa in kwara?.... Am sure you Never been to the state before.

Igbochief001:
Make I hear say u see that Yoruba boy forming hausa here

Romanoff:


You don't get it. Imagine a Yoruba speaking person being called a northerner when you don't even share similar cultures or values.

I personally hate it.

Is lokoja part of Okun?

YoungBlackRico:
As in ehn, ignorance really is a disease. Who born Hausa for Kogi? They all speak their individual languages even in the capital, they only switch to pidgin or English when they need to interact with someone from another tribe. Talking about Kwara, Yoruba is spoken all through except for some places in Kwara North. The two states, I know like the back of hands, na him one person go sit down for 5% region dey yarn dust for cyberspace. Nonsense.

This is the mistake which most people are making in Nigeria. It is not about tribe example hausa Igbo Yoruba, it is all about religion as long as you are a Muslim in Nigeria you are under the fulanis nothing else that is the religion in the country. So all of this hausa Tribe does not really count. Because by the end of the day they are Muslims and they are under the fulanis. It is the same issue with Pakistan and India long ago where the Muslims when they are away and created Pakistan. Today's some of them are running back to India
